Default LSX coil mounts
Are there any alternatives to mounting the coils on the LS car besides the valve covers?

From the site:

The brackets are universal and custom length wires can be made to accommodate any vehicle. Now with all new Stainless steal brackets

Nice

Digs... what you've got to realize is these LS powered cars are show cars... and you hide things on show cars.

Correct this is going on an LT1 but the valve covers I have are custom made and I dont think the rails will fit it.

That is a discontinued design. I bought it used and sold it when I sold the LTCC setup. I'm not sure if someone picked up the design and is making them now or not. I would assume not since the LS engines are so popular.

got the coil brackets made. these arent perfection, but they are very lightweight and functional for this car. -which is a racecar.
i also shortened his LT1 specific taylor plug wires to use again.
